I agree that you want to get your A2W intercooler radiator(s) located in the front with fresh, cool airflow. Is a new front airdam an option?

For my A2W intercooled AW11 twincharger project, I have a Kaminari KA60300 front airdam. My two small radiators for the water intercooler are located in the left and right side ports of this air dam, instead of fog lights that most people have in these ports. I'm hoping this configuration will work well on my project.

I'll also be able to observe the intercooler inlet and outlet water temperatures on a digital PLX gauge, so from that data I'll be able to calculate how efficiently the intercooler radiators are working, and get a warning signal if the water temperature is running higher than it should. Perhaps a bit overkill, but I consider more data to be more fun.

If I have measured data before you finalize your water intercooler radiator location, I'll let you know the performance of the setup I described.
